This facility’s inspection record is mixed, showing repeated deficiencies mainly in resident supervision, abuse prevention, and timely medical care between 2023 and 2024. The most recent inspection on August 20, 2025, found no deficiencies, but prior investigations substantiated neglect causing injury, delayed medical attention, and failure to report incidents properly. Complaint investigations also confirmed staff abuse and inadequate supervision, though some allegations were unsubstantiated, and the record shows some improvement by mid-2025.
